While Louisiana prepares for Hurricane Gustav, Dems gloat and guffaw; RNC opening night cancelled; Fowler apologizes; Gustav hits land
Scroll for updates…RNC opening night cancelled…McCain via Bloomberg: “We are facing a great national challenge,” McCain said in remarks sent by video from St. Louis to Republicans gathering in St. Paul, Minnesota, for the nominating convention. “We have to do away with party politics and we have to act as Americans”…Fowler apologizes…Gustav slams into La. coast…
First, please read this e-mail from michellemalkin.com reader/commenter CantCureStupid, who is a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard. She asks for your thoughts and prayers as the people of his state ready for the storm:
Hi Michelle.
I’m a new member to the site and a big fan, and right now I’m experiencing a brief (and rare) moment of downtime. I am a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard, and we are up to our nostrils in preparations for Hurricane Gustav. There is a lot going on right now in south Louisiana, but mostly we are watching this monster bear down on us and hoping for the best. I wanted you to know, as a soldier who also had to suffer through the cluster that was Katrina, that we are 1000% better prepared (God Bless Bobby Jindal!!), and that while hoping for the best, we are completely prepared for the worst and ready to do what needs to be done to ensure the safety of the people of this state.
I am sure, as a fan of your site, that the vast majority of your fantastic commenters are keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. Most of us are very aware of how sick the rest of the nation must be to hear the namby-pamby cry baby stuff that still comes out of the New Orleans area three years after Katrina, but I would ask for prayer and support for my soldiers, who have nothing to do with politics and who show up and serve whenever called upon.
God Bless America and God Bless Louisiana!!!
New Orleans is under mandatory evacuation orders this morning. Here’s a disaster preparedness round-up from Glenn Reynolds. And Weather Nerd and hurricane blogger Brendan Loy is tracking the latest developments.
Per Gov. Bobby Jindal’s order at 4am this morning: “As directed by Governor Jindal, Louisiana State Police will initiate contraflow at 4:00 AM Sunday morning. For the first time in history, the entire Louisiana coastal population will be evacuated due to the impending threat of Hurricane Gustav.”
We know who won’t be praying for their success and safety: tolerant, peaceful liberals wishing the worst on Republicans in Gustav’s path and laughing about the possibility of grave destruction.
Exhibit A: Michael Moore (via Allah).
Exhibit B: Former DNC chair Don Fowler (via redstate diarist Absentee, who caught Fowler and Democrat Rep. John Spratt’s candid, malicious comments on a plane from Denver to Charlotte. Transcript via Ed Morrissey.
The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. [Chuckle] The timing is — at least it appears now that it’ll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that God’s on our side. [Laughter] … Everything’s cool.
God is not on your side, gloating sleazeballs.
Our Louisiana Army National Guard’s screen name says it all: Can’t Cure Stupid.

This will be a treat for Gulf residents when they finally get to a tv/computer that the destruction of their homes is “cool.”
Maybe the DNC can make billboards for them to come back to.
“Everything’s Cool.”
Our prayers are with you CantCureStupid. I just returned from early Mass but will return to light a candle for all in harms way.
“Supremely good point” Canada?
Obiewonkaduffus and
moorenot much are pathetic??He couldn’t even keep a straight face that Gustav was coming the day of the RNC…
“I hope no-one gets hurt”???
Loss of property isn’t getting hurt??
What tools.
Typical lefties! Oh so compassionate… NOT!!!
It’s pretty sad when everything in your life revolves around politics. Do these people have any idea what a normal life is? These are the same polticians demanding that we put people back behind a levee 9 feet below sea level and then hope that a hurricane hits them AGAIN so the Republicans in MINNESOTA are hurt.
What idiots!
We need to worry about being on God’s side not the other way around.
God creates life and these dorks think that He cheers them on when they destroy it. Abortion is only legal because of Democrats and has now killed more people than WWII. It’s 9/11 everyday in America with over 3,000 children sacrificed on the altar of convenience daily. It’s beyond tragic.
Please, liberals, just leave God out of your stupid comments. My prayers and best wishes are with all the people who are in Gustav’s path.
Prayers to all citizens in the path of Gustav. Please be very careful and leave the areas if you are asked to do so. The dnc and libs are just beyond nice comment.
L
Everyone knows that that Democrats and liberals were ecstatic that Hurricane Katrina caused so much destruction.
So it is no surprise they are hoping and praying that many people die and that as many homes and businesses are destroyed this time around. . .then they can try to blame President Bush and “global warming.” They think it will be funny.
I feel so much better this morning knowing the Dems worry and care so much for the American people and not for their power base.
Bobby jindel will take care of louisiana. He’s a good man and everybody should pray for them.
As for the lib. God is not on your side. He watching the people of louisiana and protecting them. You lib are sick i hope god will show the error of your ways.
1. The Stalinists at YouTube/Google will probably pull the Fowler video before long.
2. This will merit nary a mention in the MSM.
3. Whatever mention it does get, Fowler will follow by “apologizing” to anyone “that might have been offended”.
4. Case closed.The DNC and their propaganda arm, the MSM, can get back to their important work- trashing Sarah Palin.
Mojave Mark’s comments are dead on–good job. May God bless Can’tCureStupid and her fellow soldiers who protect and serve us. The military did an excellent job saving people during / after Katrina–no thanks to the New Orleans local government.
John Bibb
I believe we may have just reached a tipping point in regard to how we view our Liberal fellow Americans.
These people are sick. And they should be kept away from government because their sickness guides what they do. Which is how things have gotten so bad. Huh, I guess Michael Savage was right, liberalism is a mental disorder.
McCain should have an add out with that by the end of the day!!
CantCureStupid,
Thanks for all the hard work!
Moore, Olberman and Fowler, Go teach your Momma’s how to suck an egg! toolbags.
As expected, Libs gloat over anything that may advance their power in politics. Even if it means death of innocent people. Does this remind anyone of the people we are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Same mentality, only the libs haven’t started using bombs yet. Ooops, I’m wrong, Ayers already has and wants to use more, or maybe Moore.
Everyone knows that that Democrats and liberals were ecstatic that Hurricane Katrina caused so much destruction.
wtf??
I can’t find the words to express my disgust of MSM.
CantCureStupid, you have my prayers and best wishes as you and your fellow soldiers deal with this mission. Thank you for your service to your community and our country.
As for the morons who think otherwise, they have my complete disdain. This will only showcase the emptiness and utter disrespect they have in their collective souls. And they want to end the bitter partisanship? Then STFU!
Good luck and God Speed CantCureStupid!
The libs think, “Moral equivalence.”
I mean Bush destroyed WTC so he could get elected; right?
The MSM won’t ever report what Dems really are and always try to cover for them.
However, there are campaign commercials and footage from the one with those two Dems gloating would make a great and educational ad.
Republicans: Doing their best to evacuate the coast and make sure there is little life lost. Praying to God that life is spared.
Liberals: “Praying” that thousands die and for massive destruction, so they can bring up their religion–global warming–and use the destruction for political purposes. This is comical for them and they have no regard for human life. Life is expendible as long as it fits into their political agenda.
My eyes! My eyes!
I had prepared myself for Michael Moore but was sandbagged when I clicked and Olberman appeared on the screen. I’ll have to write a check to a conservative cause to soothe my nerves.
Conservatives for the most part put aside politics at a time like this and ask God to look kindly on those in danger. Liberals pray for further devastation to befall those in danger so they can demagogue the issue for their own benefit. Can there be a greater contrast between the two philosophies?
This may well turn out to be a Wellstone moment for them if they keep cheering on the hurricane and gloating over the “dilemna” John McCain finds himself in.
As far as that dilemna goes, crisis often provides an opportunity for leadership qualities to come to the fore. I’m certain of which candidate that would benefit.
For the Gulf states, good luck and God be with you.
For Michael
mooreless to spew this kind of insesitive trash is par for the course, but for a member of our elected government to take joy in the loss of American life and property is beyond reprehensibile. This guy is supposed to represent the American people, not just a political party.What a disgusting display of government corruption in process. (this guy is a poster child for term limits).
I am praying for the people in the path of gustav. Help each other stay safe and take comfort that we are waiting to help when it’s over.
Two things that really get my goat on this issue. When the media like New York 1 and MNBC outright call Katrina “the Republican’s hurricane”, and two, how all the blame of Katrina is hoisted on Bush instead the man most on the spot responsible Ray Nagin, who is going to skate on teflon by the media for his actions. I can’t think of any other President who has been held personally responsible for a natural disaster! Another thing; does it bother you like it does me that an entire American city — supposedly the most advanced on earth — has to evacuate for ANYTHING short of an asteroid strike? I don’t see Miami ever totally evacuating. Not even Galveston Texas!

Thanks, Michelle, for the post.
Many prayers are sent today to the people who live on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Mississippi.
May God show mercy, protection, and comfort in the days to come.
Prayers also sent to the National Guard,emergency workers and Gov. Jindal.
Just gagged my way throught the final 2 minutes of Mooron and Opie…. ugh.
Women don’t think Republicans are stupid, and they certainly KNOW those two are….
DEMwits….
in the vernacular of the sixties generation NY Andy. RIGHT ON BROTHER
I’m hopeful that lessons learned from Katrina have been applied now, and that the various levies, homes, and other infrastructure that has been rebuilt are a lot better able to handle what’s coming.
Also, have said a few prayers for those poor folks.
The left wing Democrats are putridly disgusting. You don’t have to stick you finger down your throat to vomit . . . just look in the face of a Democrat.
How can these sickos call themselves “Fellow Americans” with a straight face? They make me sick to my stomach.
Good luck, Cant Cure Stupid, and thank you and your fellow Guardsmen for being there. My prayers are with you and everyone in the storm’s path.
One might think that had God been so determined to wreck havoc on the Republicans via Gustav, He might have made sure that the hurricane spared Michael Moore’s precious Cuba. In any event, I thought Katrina was the result of Karl Rove’s Amazing Racist Hurricane Machine (HT/Mark Steyn). Has that machine been left running unattended in the White House basement?
Batten down the hatches Gulf states, and good luck.
God bless our men and women in uniform that rush towards danger rather than run from it.
I’m to the point where I expect this from the classless dems. But when will the MSM pick up this vitriol and publicize it?
- cue crickets chirping-
McAmnesty should have planned to have his convention in Southern California…
The weather is great, and the Mexicans are here to do all the setup work that Americans won’t do.
That’s just putrid. Why don’t they just wish for a nuke to take out all of Middle America while they’re at it? Then they can invite Ahmadinejad to speak all over creation, dance on the military graves, and pat themselves on the back for being so smart.
Thank goodness what’s-her-name isn’t governor anymore. Bobby Jindal is acquitting himself rather nicely right now and proving competence is possible down in Louisiana.
I really really hope They got the message out to their (5) viewers and (3) women that wacth msnbc and bought Moorons movie tickets.
Imagine, a political convention helping people, instead of speeches and blather-this is one of the plans:
God be with all the people in LA, and THANK GOD for soldiers like the one who wrote the letter above!!!!! We need to make sure as many people as possible read this letter. I will include a link to it with a snippet in my daily email broadcast through Field of Dreams Communities.
My prayers are with you and all fellow LA residents CantCureStupid! Bless you for your service!
Absolutely! God does not take sides, people do.
What goes around comes around. I’m a firm believer that how you live your life comes back to you ten-fold.
Olbermann and Moore. The combined IQ of 10. Is there anything intelligent they can talk about? Now Moore accuses of Republicans of treating women as stupid.
I am praying and will donate too. I have friends and colleagues in that area who are scared and trying to just get somewhere safe. Two of my colleagues are affected, one left NO and is now in a 2bdrm home with 12 ppl (her family). The other lives further inland on a hill so everyone flocked to her house..all 15 of them! My friend went out yesterday morning and told her beloved trees” Thou Shalt Not Be Moved”..that made me cry! God Bless ALL of those affected! You WILL be in our Thoughts and Prayers! THANK YOU to our brave men and women in our State’s National Guards, ALL Police, Fire, First Responders, everyone risking THEIR lives to save others!
It’s not about the conventions anyway; it’s about leading the country. I haven’t payed much attention to conventions, prefering to read transcripts of the pandering speeches than watching them live. This is not a contest to see who can have the biggest party or have the most stupid behavior. When are the libs going to realize that it is not about them….it’s the country stupid! I’ve seen better behaved 3 yr olds and they think they know what is best for the country? Nice try Dembotards.
Wow. I am sure glad that Mikey Moore decided to clean up for the MSNBC interview. Actually, I thought that he might be dead, drowned in his own body grease by now.
God be with the good people of New Orleans and the Coast, they are in for a rough one. Can’t comment on Michael Moore, I refuse to watch the jerk. CantCureStupid is more like America that the Stupid regardless of what television tells us.
I do not wish to rain on anyone’s parade but eventually much of New Orleans and the Louisiana and Mississippi coast are going to have to be permanently evacuated. The operative phrase here is BELOW SEA LEVEL. They are below sea level and are trapped between the gulf and Mississippi River. The area is actually sinking and the coastal marshes are deteriorating.
No matter how big and good the levees and pumping stations are someday they will fail. The big nightmare is an early storm on the gulf and late flooding on the Mississippi.It is a case of 1+1=2 and in this particular case 2 is a terrible number.
6.5 only 10 if you use fuzzy math.
the .5 goes to opie, but just for hygiene.
I should ignore you but comments like that show your true moral vacancy.
I’ll repeat here what I wrote last night on HotAir.
Yes, it was a private conversation but unlike the funny lines of a well-known comedian about being arrested for ‘drunk in public‘, those two are public figures that knew they were in public.
They share[d] a laugh at George Bush’s expense, the people of New Orleans be damned.
Rep. Spratt chairs the House Budget Committee. He has continuously harangued the Bush administration for more money in the budget for Kartrina victims. For all their talk [the libs talk] about taking care of people, it is always about power and the next election.
Hardy-har-har — not.
Sorry….Couldn’t…..watch …..the ….whole……..thing……Much…..too….weak.
That and just looking at (I ate) Moore (than my share) in his t-shirt and 8 day shadow makes me ill and in need of a shower.
I saw School Bus Nagin on TV yesterday telling us how prepared he is for this. He failed to mention that Bobby Jindal must have had to put a foot up his backside for him to evacuate the chocolate city.
Boy, just when it seems they couldn’t possibly sink any lower, Libs plunge even deeper into depravity. Incredible!
God bless Cant Cure Stupid and the rest of the Louisiana National Guard, Bobby Jindal and all of the people of Louisiana as they deal with this awful storm. Jindal has already proven himself an effective leader and this tragedy will only underscore the fact that voters did a great thing for their state by electing him.
As someone who’s lived through many hurricanes, I understand what everyone involved is going through. Here in Florida, Jeb Bush was always so good at dealing with these natural disasters — calm, organized and efficient. And even though I disagree with him on many issues, Charlie Crist has followed Jeb’s example well in this area.
God bless Louisiana!
We have spent 505,000 thousand dollars per person the clean up New Orleans. Keep the port and relocate the remainder that is below sea level.
Not that I think it’s the responsibility of the legislative branch to be ‘hands on’ after a storm, but it would be an excellent example of compassion for McCain/Palin to spend one of the convention days in NOLA, doing the work that liberals won’t do.
Nice contrast to the Limo/rockstar mentality of the DNC! Tho it won’t make the news-
Michael, you are so original. First, he was reading a children’s book, now it’s cake-eating. We get it. But, here’s my question: What were you doing while a category 4 hurricane was on its way to the U.S.? Oh, yucking it up with your co-conspirator buds at MSNBC. I think I’ll put that in a documentary.
Sick how some on the left want calamity to be brought on any city during the RNC. Louisiana has had enough heartache. Prayers go out to these people awaiting another potential tragedy.
No vacancies here… the Mexicans have them all filled.
BREAKING: Statement from SCGOP Chairman Katon Dawson
“The outrageous behavior of two of the Obama campaign’s highest profile supporters in the south is despicable, a cynical politization of life and death. I call on Barack Obama to immediately denounce Fowler and Spratt and demand sincere apologies from these members of the Democratic leadership.”
I’m sure he will and then the MSM can sweep it completely under the mat.
God bless all on the Gulf Coast and our brave men and women, like cantcurestupid!
Rob, your attempts to make this into a hate site are lame at best, go back under your rock.
Take it somewhere else.
Two years on my college debating team have given me the knowledge to weed out BS on all levels. The sad part the above videos is the obvious intellectual limitations of the MSM. If their presentation of the news was subjected to basic debating criteria, they would loose every time. It amazes me they have so much power.
No, I think I will stay. Let the Mexicans go home.
But thank you for listening!
The moore video is not refreshing now..MSNBC timeout. Hmmm.. is that too many people watching or is it disappearing?
ajmontana, your attempts to make this into a hate site are lame at best, go back under your rock.
Take it somewhere else.
Rob, I also live in socal and can understand some of the sentiments expressed. However, spewing them here on this blog is not going to change the situation. We need to hit sacramento every chance we get. In the meantime, we have to live with and deal with the invasion the best way we can.
Michelle
Please abort Rob
This is the true dnc coming out. They literaly don’t give a damn except how to make the gop look bad.
Can’tcurestupid, This reservist is already on the voluenteer list…. I am with you.
In his own words.
http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?id=229
Thanks Michelle for getting the on scene report from CantCureStupid. It’s great to know Louisiana has real leadership at the state level. I’m sure Governor Jindal is directing the Mayor of the Chocolate City on how to prepare for this coming storm to avoid the cluster f&%@ thanks to the inaction of Democrat leadership of Baton Rouge and New Orleans during Katrina. To all the overworked Guardsmen and women of Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and possibly Florida toiling to evacuate personnel and secure property our prayers and best wishes are with you. Stay safe!
For the unhinged left cheering on this destructive storm may you earn all the bad karma in life and in hell during the afterlife of torment you so richly deserve.
Fowler and Moore’s comments prove once again how disgusting the left is. But, this will come back to bite them in the a$$, as it will be repeated on TV and all over the internet, just wait. I live in Minneapolis. The economic hit we will take is going to be enormous. The Twin Cities have been gearing up for the convention for a very long time. The police force alone has been training to deal with all the moonbats that are planning to descend like a stinky blanket on our beautiful city. Last I heard, there were 50,000 of them. Maybe they can be talked into going down to N.O. when the hurricane passes, and help out. It does seem they have lots of time on their hands. I am praying for the people on the Gulf Coast!
rob,
If you can’t see the difference there’s no hope for you.
nice try though.
Luckily most Louisianians are not as easily fooled as CantCureStupid. Lets look at who’s done the most for the folks along the Gulf Coast post Katrina.
http://thinkonthesethings.wordpress.com/2007/08/29/when-the-cameras-are-off-barack-obamas-hurricane-katrina-record/
http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS198703+24-Apr-2008+PRN20080424
It’s Republican morons that blames liberals and gays for natural disasters (and even 9/11). It’s Republican inherent mean-spiritedness that called for torrential rain on the night of Obama’s acceptance speech.
I don’t ever hear you complaining about that. You know, your double standards are farcical by this stage.
What better way to demonstrate how much the people on the right care about their country? The idea of having the Red Cross come in and use one day of the convention to put together care packages is amazing and would show the world what we on the right are made of. I can just see the ad now…republicans using their convention time to aid the Red Cross in this crisis. Then clips of Don Fowler and Michael Moore making their disgusting remarks. That ad would be republican gold!!!
omu, set the glue down…..
Gee ajmontana I think omu needs to lay off the bong a little myself.
I break into uncontrollable laughter every time a liberal mentions double standards. Omu, please stop! ROFLMAO!!!!
It could potentially backfire, though. Many people (myself included) would see it as a deplorable act of political opportunism; exploiting suffering and destruction for political gain would not reflect well on the GOP.
Spoken like a true liberal.
On August 31st, 2008 at 10:28 am,
I second that, Michelle.
Rob is a vile, bigoted jerk.
Omu, no one cares how people like you would react. The only thing that Republicans could do that would make you happy would be to cancel the convention, withdraw from the election, and try themselves for “war crimes”. Then you’d call that “the only honorable thing to be done”. You can say whatever you want. Hopefully the Republicans won’t pay one whit of attention to it.
There are many types of conservative voices here. Religious, philosophical and constitutionalist. Don’t politically profile.
Sheer, unadulterated, depravity. We’ll be praying for the safety of those in the path of this monster while Rep. Spratt prays for it’s destruction. His lack of compassion is chilling and points to the blinding difference between the two parties.
For our new friend and commenter, CantCureStupid, and her fellow Louisiana National Guardsmen – may God protect and guide each and every one of you. Thank you for your service, and please keep in touch with us if/when you can.
Gov. Jindal is a fine young man, and we’re all praying for his wisdom to guide the people of his state in the face of the coming storm. He’ll do his very best both during the evacuation and the weeks that follow.
Prayers going out this morning for all of those who are still in harms’ way down in NO, including our law enforcement officials and Guardsman.
May God be with you all.
Godspeed Cantcurestupid[love the screen name btw], went to mass this morning and prayed for anyone in the path of Gustav.
As for the morons who are gloating over this disaster, they are despicable. This will only illustrate further that the Democrats are classless. From the Disney style production of their convention to the desperate attempts to smear Sarah Palin, their actions and words just show these shallow, callow excuses for human beings for what they are.
Of course you would omu … you and your leftie kooks. But MOST of America would look at it for what it truly is – Americans helping other Americans – somthing completely foreign to you.
RedState’s contributor surely has the original video and others (including me) have the audio. YouTube can prove their leanings my taking down the video but they can’t hide the slime.
Congressman Spratt and DNC Fowler have some ’splaining to do.
Awwww Rose, I have missed your nose!
Glad I could give you some business to stick it in again!
These people are disgusting. While they like to think that Katrina exposed some sort of racial/economic divide, what it really exposed was the difference between those who do the right thing and make the right decisions (i.e. get the hell out of Dodge), and those who blame otheres for all their problems.
Certainly, Katrina was a huge natural disaster, but the blame game that followed was a perfect metaphor for the Democrat’s platform of “you cannot take care of yourself, without our help.”
Ignore the trolls, folks, and they’ll go away. They may have a few bursts of hate now and then to distract from the post, but their snarky comments should draw…silence.
I have to say this to les:
I have family in Mississippi where the Gulf Coast was reduced to slabs after Karina. Unlike many in Louisiana their friends pulled themselves up and either moved or rebuilt with the help of the US government, insurance, and grants. They did not attempt to stay in hotels in Houston at the govenment’s expense for almost two years, they did not spend the initial $2000 help in bars, on beer, or on strippers.
Katrina was not a Democrat or Republican contest, it was a contest of who had been raised on the teat of welfare, dependent on the government for generations, and who accepted the risk of living near a body of water and doing the best with what they had.
Hurricanes hit Florida almost every year. Andrew flattened Homestead and parts of South Florida and people moved on. There was the contrast, les. It is not about politics, it is about welfare and pandering to welfare for generations.
Olbermann is a pathetic hypocrite. Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IVLwBsJ3go
Not only that but both Moore and Olby were outraged (justifiably) when Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and others said Katrina was God’s punishment for various “liberal” sins.
Dear Michelle
Most of the fine people on your blog wish to have a civil discourse. We enjoy opposing views as we my learn and grow. There are people here that are turning your wonderful site into a polluted pool.
Please remove Rob
Anybody what to second that motion?
As far as the Obama camp denouncing the comments, and demanding apologies from Fowler and Spratt, I think their first thought is to go after and prosecute the guy who shot the video.
Heh Rob; why do Mexican women wear long dresses? To hide the no-pest strips! Lol.
So damn funny ya pr*ck. I learned that in summer camp as a kid…
Just ignore me and don’t comment to me dude. You don’t get to run the world…
Question for Kanye West..
Will you be calling out this old WHITE guy for laughing at the devastation that is about to befall ALL people but for the sake of Kanye BLACK people?
Of course he won’t because that old WHITE guy is part of the slavemasters Democrats….oh now now people don’t become upset by that EXACT description of the Democrat party…..Fowler is exactly like every Democrat…..they don’t care about ANY people they care about POWER and once they have it they don’t want to LOSE it and the way they KEEP it is to have a majority of the electorate beholden to the federal government….ie: SLAVES.
The Democrat party is SICK and there is nothing Democratic about it!
This will only illustrate further that the Democrats are classless.
Are you serious? Are you honestly saying Democrats are classless when Republicans in Texas are printing racist badges, are putting out absurdly distracting adverts comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and exploited gay people to steal an election in 2004. Democrats have much, much more class than the party of Karl Rove.
